Companies often overpay for off-the-shelf software. Custom software and AI can be the answer

Off-the-shelf software is quick to deploy and often inexpensive at first. But as a company grows, so do the costs of licences, additional applications, integrations and manual work. Custom software requires a higher initial investment, but for some companies it can be more cost-effective in the long run than standard software. AI has also changed both the cost and accessibility of custom development.

“AI Can Write the Code Now.” An Interview with Ondřej Synek on How Custom Software Development Is Changing

Artificial intelligence has probably had a greater impact on software development than on most other industries. It is speeding up programming, supporting analysts and project managers, and reshaping the entire custom software development market. What sets a high-quality software development company apart today? How is the role of developers changing? And is there still a place for junior developers in the industry? We discussed all of this with Ondřej Synek, CTO at MEMOS Software.

What did 2025 bring in IT? We asked CTO Ondřej Synek

The year 2025 was marked by radical changes that all had one thing in common. Artificial intelligence became the common denominator for IT innovation in 2025. It found its way into almost all fields and became a topic that resonated throughout the world of information technology. "In 2025, artificial intelligence dominated everything and suppressed everything else. All the changes that took place were related to AI," adds Ondřej Synek, Technical Director at MEMOS Software.

When is enterprise software management worthwhile?

Will low-code and no-code platforms bring the end of classical programming?

Low-code and no-code platforms have opened up software development to non-specialists without years of software development experience. Does this mean that programmers and developers will lose their jobs? How do we see the alternative programming in MEMOS Software?

Why is the Czech Republic becoming the technology hub of Central Europe?

The Czech Republic is becoming an increasingly frequent destination for IT investors and new startups. What factors are involved and what is in it for the Czech Republic? And what challenges and opportunities do investors face when entering the Czech market? Revenues in the IT sector exceeded CZK one billion in 2023. Does this seem incredible to you? A large share is held by foreign investors who run their own business here. Outsourcing Czech developers is so profitable for them that they have moved their business to the Czech Republic, giving people jobs and paying taxes.
